Benson urges parity of opportunity with prices for rural youth
Secretary Ezra Taft Benson told 10 000 Future Farmers of America members in Kansas City that the Agriculture Department should broaden rural vocational education as part of a rural development program. He noted rural schooling lags urban levels, cited rising farm education, and contrasted $31 million yearly education spending with $1.3 billion for price and income programs in 1955. He urged fair starting lines for rural youths but not guaranteed simultaneous wins.
